what are the affects of being exposed to inaccurate articels about biased surveys? random thoughts Send a noteboard - 20/12/2010 11:30:35 PM
The original study was biased and the article covering is inaccurate. They didn't get the questions right and they left out how small the margin was on many of the questions or question that Fox viewers answered corrrectly more often then some others. If the questions had not been hand pick to show thing republican are more likely to get wrong the results might be different.

You should change the heaqd line to "Liberals prove to themsleves how smart they really are"
